That person should contact me so I can tell them why it's a bad idea.
And if any Windows users want to use Class::DBI with threads, I'd be
happy to take a patch.

Isn't it always safe with a value of 3?  That's the impression I got
from the DBI docs.

tries to be agnostic about using prepare_cached or not and just does
what it's told.
